Top 10 things I hate about being fat.

10. Being called "Big Man"

I think because of the amount of muscle I carry people don't always see it as an insult. Honestly I don't take it as one, but it is a constant reminder of my size. I am not tall, so big man wouldn't be a name i was called if I were the correct weight.

9. Clothes shopping

My wife wonders why I don't buy better jeans. Maybe because size 44-46-48 or whatever oversized I happened to be at the time aren't found in stores. A week prior to attempting this latest weight loss journey I ordered two pairs of jeans online... Ugh how pathetic Also clothes just don't look good on my. I look like a fat guy in a sweater, or a fat guy in a suit!

8. Tying My shoes

Yeah this is WAY to much of a hassle. Bending over from the standing position to tie my shoes is impossible. I need to prop my foot up on something. My wife asks why my shoes are untied all the time. Well there it is

7. Sloppy Eating

I actually never realized this UNTIL I lost weight before my wedding. But fat people spill shit eating all the time. You know why? Because your large belly makes it harder for you to lean over your plate. So while most people are bringing their fork form their plate only a few inches, that trek is 3 times as far for big bellied people. This leads to more spills. A fat person with food spills causes so many head shakes. Makes you look even sloppier

6. Getting out of chairs.

Constant reminder of your size. the process is way to difficult for such an easy task. Oh and god forbid you struggle in front of anyone. Fat guy struggling to get out of couch or seat is right behind, fat guy spilling food.

5. Energy

You know how people just assume fat people are lazy? Well they are lazy because they are fat, they aren't fat because they are lazy. When you combine unhealthy eating and weight thats the end of energy. Getting up in the morning, doing chores, going for a walk, all of these things are torture. You just don't feel like it, because the amount of energy it takes from your large self is unreal.

4. Airplanes

Oh being the fat guy on a full flight SUX. I can do a pretty good job at not infringing on the person next to me, but only at the expense of being completely uncomfortable myself. One time i was sitting in the middle seat of an exit row. The guy to my right was almost twice my size, which is pretty fucking big. People walked by and just laughed. We looked at eachother like, "Fuck this is a cross country flight, we are fucked!" When the flight attendant asked us all if we could perform our duties in the exit row, I said no. I was switched with some unsuspecting dude who thought he was getting some nice leg room in the exit row. Sorry to that guy.

3. Losing weight is a long journey

A lot of people are 15-25 lbs over weight. They feel fine, but they know they could trim down. These are the people that read the "Get fit for the summer" article in May and know they can follow the plan and be fine. It's november, my plan is to get to fat for the summer. I am so far up the BMI chain to morbidly obese that I just want to drop down to plain old fat.

2. Sex and women

Certain positions are a no no because I know I am crushing my wife. Also the worse shape you are in the harder it is to last and be the man you know you can be. I put a lot of time in to try and ovecome that, but it wouldnt be so hard if I were in shape. Also I am a very outgoing guy. I am funny, and interesting and attract attention. I can just see women who listen to me and think "Man if only he was smaller!" I don't plan on cheating on the wife, but if I did I would like to be seen differently.
Side note: I am also tired of fat white women thinking I like them bc I am bigger and a brother. Please big cougars, stop hitting on me.

1. Being Naked is uncomfortable

I hate seeing myself nude. Its SO bad. I mean i have a mirror in my bed room, its not cool. I dont even like for my wife to see me. I am not shy so I don't hide, but I am very perceptive and I can see her worrying as she sees me sometimes. This also extends to pictures. I don't like taking them. I know I look bad. I never feel like i look THAT bad, but when i see the mirror or the picture it just makes me sad.

Wow! Um, what can I say about this journal... I love your honesty! I completely understand about the being naked part. I am uncomfortable with that too. I don't like taking pictures of anything besides my face, because I know I'm beautiful and my weight doesn't show in my face much. But being overweight does suck for so many reasons. The lack of energy is my biggest hang up. I have so much to do and I hardly feel up for half of it. I think the biggest I've ever been was 5'4 at 245 pounds but I understand some of what your going through. I applaud your efforts and just never give up. Remember, your doing this for you and your health. Let me know if you want to be my buddy. I'm new to this site and don't have any buddies yet. No worries, I already have a man...(or should I say cub) LoL!!! Take Care!

I 'enjoyed' your journal so much. I felt your pain, but at the same time 'yes' you are funny. But seriously, "I feel ya". It could have been me writing this journal entry. But this time, with the help of God and this website, I will lose this weight. I have to...for my health. My husband will be building me a house in a couple of months and I want to enjoy it. Right now I barely can get out of MY chair. So let's all make this the last time we lose the same pounds. Take it off and keep it off. I want to be your buddy, too!
